I also attached the screnshot ( In screenshto "m039101" server has 18 users, "Maldevm26" server has 12 users and "Maldevm35"s server has 3 users. I can see that total 43 licneses are used. So there is 8 licnese are showing more from the usage. In only one server administrator is logged in with RDP.. So i guess administrator is using one TS license rather than citrix license.

Enabling Report Logging
Updated: 2009-08-10
The report log contains data about licensing activity that can help you understand the rate of license consumption in your environment and plan for future purchases. Before you can generate any historical reports, you must enable the report logging feature. Report logging is inactive by default because report logs can grow excessively large. You can tell if report logging is inactive because the words Not Configured appear adjacent to "Report Log" on the File Locations page (Configure License Server > File Locations). If a path name appears, reports are enabled.
In the License Management Console, return to the License Management Console Welcome screen by clicking the License Management Console logo located in the top left corner on any page.
Click Configure License Server > File Locations > Change.
Enter the path where you want to create your report log and specify a meaningful name for the report log (for example, C:\Program Files\Citrix\Licensing\LS\
Click Change.
The report log is enabled and the path where it is stored appears adjacent to Report Log.
You will have to wait a day or so to generate activity in the log file.
